getthis incremental productivity in factmany of you have had os/2 for over twoyears and now this stable provenoperating system is even better it fitson your desktop and on your notebook itfits your personal style and makes iteasier for you to do more with yourcomputer and more with you a time ittransports you where you need to goonline and puts the world of theinformation highway at your fingerit works the way you work today IBMoffers its third version of what otherscall the operating system of tomorrowIBM's operating system breaks throughbarriers to efficiency and usability inways that are meaningful manageable andlogical when assessing the benefits of aproduct that is here and now weighedagainst those of a product from theindeterminate future it is logical toconsider the timing is everything thewait is over the time is now for os/2[Music][Music]computer computer ready lock on tocoordinates for IBM senior vicepresident and group executive BobLabonte[Music][Applause]thanks Leonard thank you it's not a badway to travel I've got to tell you thisis a great day good morning and welcomeladies and gentlemen that welcomeextends well beyond this theater to tensof thousands of people in more than 100cities in North and South America who'vejoined us by a closed-circuit televisionI might add that an event just like thisone here in New York City is being heldin London today we also have an event inSydney Australia and in smaller eventsand cities around the world and againlet me welcome all of you whether you'rea customer a reseller a software vendora PC manufacturer or a representative ofthe media we very much appreciate yourconfidence and an interest in IBM'sdesktop offerings and if you're doingbusiness with us we again thank you verymuchbut whoever you are and wherever you areplease check your watches why because asyou saw and heard in that openingvideotape it's time it's time for a newgeneration operating system and it'stime to make the PC do more for thecorporate end-user the small businessend-userand the home user it's time for os/2warp with its unmatched valueperformance and unmatched ease of use aswell look I've got to tell you by everymeasure os/2 already is a remarkableperformer it's one reason IBM is thelargest software company in the worldnow and our goal is to become thesoftware company of choice for PC userseverywhere around the world and os/2warp is at the heart the very heart ofthat strategy and by the end of thishour I'vethat you will see that os/2 warp weeknot only will continue to get os/2 rightbut we'll get it right on time now letme also briefly try to put today'sannouncement into perspectiveos/2 is a cornerstone in our rapidlygrowing solutions and services businessand it's also a major platform for anexpanding number of our customers a casein point in the last sixty days alonejust here in the United States thenumber of corporate os/2 contracts roseby sixty percent sixty percent and inthe same 60-day period of time in theUnited States the number of licensesincreased nearly eighty percent in facttoday worldwide nearly six millioncustomers 6 million customers be thehousehold names or just plain householdsrely on os/2 from the largest to thesmallest customers they're trusting os/2with mission-critical applications letme give you some quick examples down inNorfolk Virginia nations Bank one of thecountry's largest banks an imagesolution for customer service inJacksonville FloridaCSX corporation says it's moving all ofits 20,000 20,000 pcs and workstationsto os/2 to handle everything fromassigning railroad crews to managingreal estate and State Farm Insurance isanother large customer that is fullycommitted to os/2 now as I indicatedos/2 is also a valuable tool forentrepreneurs right here in New YorkCityBob branch ech he's a president of acomputer training firm and he's also aninstructorat NYU New York University this semesterhe's using os/2 warp beta to show hisstudents what and I quote a realoperating system is now I could go onbut I hope that the point is abundantlyclearwe've been on time to help Americabusiness solve their admission criticalapplication needs and their trust in ourpeople the skills of our people and os/2continues now a moment ago I mentionedsix million users and that was a masslargely through commitments fromcorporations and we've kept them in mindas we developed os/2 warp but we'readding another dimension where thetypical user runs is in as little asfour megabytes of memory and demandsease of use and value but rarely gets itwe've enhanced os/2 to really meet thatreality and to meet your needs insegments like home entertainment andeducation Home Office work groups smallbusinesses and the mobile professionalnow one closing point we're putting anawful lot of emphasis on os/2 s andwarps worldwide appeal and potentialit's an absolutely great example of avery skilled and dedicated group of IBMerrs coming together and I'm delightedby the incredible results produced byour people working at six differentdevelopment and research laboratoriesallowing us to keep the promise that wemade last May that we deliver in earlyfall and today we're on time and I'malso delighted that come tomorrow thesepeople don't just get beamed away thisremarkable team continues to gofull-bore onbehalf of a growing army of customers onbehalf of these customers we're takingthis operating system where no softwarehas gone before but don't just take myword for itour next speaker has a uniqueperspective on the power of being thenext generation thank you[Applause]ladies and gentlemen from the starshipVoyager please welcome the newestgeneration of Star Trek captains in hiseighth Mulgrew[Music]some of you may have expected PatrickStewart here today but Patrick fineafter that he is was only the secondgeneration of Star Trek captains I amthe third generation and like os/2 eachgeneration is an improvement like os/2warp I am beginning a new adventure thisseason I will star as Captain KathrynJaneway on the new Star Trek Voyager theStar Trek adventure has been part of theAmerican and worldwide televisionculture for thirty years it's a goodfeeling to know that this new endeavoris backed by a lot of past experience inthe field new users of os/2 warp willfeel the same way knowing the years thathave gone into refining it from thestart of the Star Trek voyage aninternational and intergalactic castfaced danger and mortality with an arrayof futuristic technical assistance allwith a human touch computers that talkedphasers that stunned not killed anddoctors that cured with tricorders notscalpels from what I've seen of os/2warp there are similaritiesit's the third generation ofaward-winning technology with a humantouch easy installation one-buttonaccess to the internet free applicationsbuilt in multimedia and it's a greatplace to play games os/2 warp takes youwhere no man an operating system checkthat man woman and operating system havegone before as you know today IBM isintroducing os/2 warp worldwide withlaunch events in London Sydney and herein New York now even a world travelerlike our next speaker could use a littlehelp getting around all those places soIvan asked to help with today's showlet's see with the time change well I ama little new at this but I'll give it atrycomputer yes I like that let's see if wecan make this work again lock on tocoordinates for the president of IBM'spersonal software products division Lirice wig looking on energized[Music][Applause][Applause]well we made it me the product and thename looks like you have got this prettywell under control Kate so how arethings going here in London Noli this isNew York oh and since you're coming fromSydneyyou've been halfway around the world andit's yesterday well that's a great wayto travel but do I still get my frequentflyer miles we're working on a programbut you'll need seven light years oftravel to earn an upgrade you know Iknow a way you can upgrade youroperating system and you don't have towait seven light years you don't evenhave to wait seven months and it's thethird generation like me so it must bereally goodthat's right it's always to work thenext generation operating system so Leewhy did you call it os/2 warp we allheard it was gonna be 2.2 version 3v3boring you know a great product deservesa great name a name that's about thefuture about the power to reshape timeKate ladies and gentlemen prepare to bewarped I'm readyharyana thanks Kateyou know the thing that makes os/2 warpso timely is that unlike previousversions of warp where the magic wassometimes hidden under the covers os/2warp is designed for end-users we'vekept all that award-winning power andpunch of os/2 and made it easier to getstarted and easier to use we'vedelivered the engine industry's simpleston-ramp to the information highwaythere's even a one button

use power connections bonusapplications multimedia bells andwhistles well we expect to see a streetprice for under $80 and given that muchvalue for that kind of price people keepasking what did we take out the answeris nothing the technical foundation thathas 146 industry Awards worldwide andcontinues to outsell Windows NT by about20 to 1 the 32-bit operating system withmultitasking multi-threadingobject-oriented desktop that offersadvanced reliability crash protectionthat enterprise customers and powerusers rely on it's all hereonly better and it's here today in factthis week we'll be pressing CDs andmaking diskettes as fast as we can andit'll be widely available by the end ofthis monthos/2 warp is not an ending it's abeginning the next member of the os/2warp family is set to go into beta testin about a month and that's theintegrated land client based on os/2warp shrink-wrap won't be the only wayto get Lois to warptoday I'll tell you about new agreementswith major PC manufacturers includingthe IBM PC company Toshiba and Dell andwe're also going to tell you aboutexpanding application support a blowoutworldwide advertising campaign a broadrange of retail sales programs butenough talk it's time to show you whatos/2 warp is all about I've asked WallyCasey our director of marketing to joinme and I think along the way we'llprobably get some virtual help from theos/2 evangelist David Barnes as wellWallyhowdy Eileen where we got here Lily letme take you on a little test drive ofwarp here like why didn't I get beamedin it's a budget thing fine it's abudget thing let's go what do you gotfor it's always a budget thing first ofonly a couple things existing always twousers are gonna notice a couple ofthings right awayright it's teal right well first thing Ijumped off is the fact it is teal and wedid a number of things to focus on theusability of the product because it wasone of the key things people told usabout in the product so we not only madethe background teal we actually mademore of the icons a 3d in there exactlyand in fact they're animated so as youopen folders they actually fold down andas they close but we think the thingthat most people will notice first offis this new area down here you representat the launch pad launch pad rightexactlyLee this is a repository a place wherepeople put things that they do often andso for instance let me give you anexample everything on here works with aone button click now you know I'm a bigI mean Pro fan so I included that downhere right but I keep all the rest of mysmart Suite applications in a littledrawer that he pops up pops up and thosekind of like a fast path right to thethings you do most exactly rightbut it's fully customizable because ofits object orientation for instance Ihad to be here today so I made a littleto-do list to do that I'm done with itand all I need to do is grab it drag iton to the shredder let it go it resizesand it automatically resizes thelaunchpad exactly so this is completelycustomizable to whatever you want to doso no we're gonna have millions of newusers of those to work while you whatare we doing for them well that was oneof the key things that came back toleave was the fact that people needed tobe able to install install at times hadbeen challenging with versions ofprevious versions of OS 2 so one of thethings we wanted to do was make surethat people who bought from App Tevas upto Packard bells were able to installthis thing easily right so all you do ison one of the first diskettes youactually are asked a question would youlike to take easy install you hit theenter key and from there on the softwaretakes over the install process and itdiscovers all the things about yourhardware doesn't ask you all those goofyquestions exactly right in fact this isan example I install this on my thinkpad here it determined that I was asuper VGA monitor I bet you didn't knowyou had a Western Digital chipset I'llbe up since I did not know there was aWestern Digital chipset it found itselected the right one and put the rightdevice driver for that I didn't have totell them I did not tell it that rightit determined that I had advanced powermanagement what a day that's good forthe PCMCIA support put it in and one ofthe Bane's of people's existenceespecially in the games and themultimedia environment is the support ofaudio cards yeah well os/2 now supportsall staff you from real magic throughthe sound blaster aw e32 to the soundgalaxy to all the note you know most ofthe major or a very popular drives greatone selects them right away determineswhere they are and puts them in soinstall a lot to be a really niceexperience exactly right and so anyoneshould be able to install this right outof the box the next thing we wanted todo Lee was it was very important for usthat when people were making thetransition from program manager over toworkplace shell that they know how touse that now so our tutorial wassomething that we wanted to spend sometime on Wow looks pretty snappy it looksvery different so you get you see itvery differently now first of all youfind a hypertext link box down here thatis I Drive the cursor around it changesyou find a graphic now you mentionedgames before so that's just emotes yeahand let's go over at is find out how youaccess games in os/2 hey there's agraphic there in the middle and it tellsyou exactly what you're doing how to doit step-by-step from a from a graphicalstandpoint on the right side we tell youhow to do it in textual base and then togive you an opportunity to practicewhich we know is important it shuts downlets you actually work on the desktopand leaves you with the with theinstructions that's great now how aboutif I'm lazy if you're lazy like like Iam you just hit the do it button ittakes over for you and laws is itautomatic the heart rate that's greatnow one of the key things we also wantedto get to was the fact that we Windowsusers are primarily our objectives wherethey reboot to run the games well theywould if they were on Windows but herethey're on os/2 andso we included a Windows button and whatit does is it gives them a corollarybetween what they just learned on theworkplace shell and what they used to doback in Windows and so the learningexperience is much faster so much fortutorial what's that green thing downthere oh well this isn't among one ofmost interesting places I've ever beento Lee it's called Wally's world Oh andin fact it's a place that you knowbasically it's a map where I go where Iget images of what we do where we haveinteresting customers and interestingplaces and so in the world around theworld and so you probably look it's likewe got one in Japan well that's that'sAlaska that's Alaska actually mfx heythat's our buddy David Barnes that'sexactly right and he's in Kodiak Alaskaright now what's he doing well whenwould you stop and find out okayI gotta tell you when I first heardabout Kodiak Island Alaska the image ofhigh tech didn't exactly come to mind Imean it is the second largest island inthe United States but there's almost asmany bears as there are people let's seeif I had one of these could I get a bearlike that well since I arrived in KodiakIsland I found that the county officesare connected to the mental healthfacilities the schools are networked thehospitals are ready to jump right in andos/2 is in the middle of it allthis place is high-tech and the coffeeis great[Music]so you think technology is important forKodiak Island we have nine remoteschools and our weather so bad sometimeswe can go two weeks without being ableto get a plane into a village thetechnology is the only thing we have tofall back on as a borough Assessor youdo some weird things with OS - tell meabout what you're doing with yourcomputer well we have a computerizeddatabase that holds all the informationfor all the personal property and thereal property within the borough we alsohave a computerized mapping system thatdigitizes the whole borough it has allthe lot lines surveys and you we usethose two to connect the borough to thehospital the borough to the mentalhealth center and a remote site to themental health center as well we'll bedoing Billings directly from theretirement system and the insurancesystem right through a fax modem intothe computer do the billing righton-screen and send it right back down tothe agency and then all we have to do iscut the check plus I can use my favoriteversions of different programs under OS2 I can use the DOS version of Lotuswhich I like and I'm used to and I canuse the OS 2 or the Windows version ofWordPerfect all I have to do is have OS2 we're quite a ways away from a lot ofthings up herewhat about connectivity to the outsideworld do you use it for that your cellphone how you so as to to run modemprograms to dial into different placesaroundand the reason I like to use a lessstupid that is the multitasking theability to be dialing in somewhere andusing my work processor as well did youever try to make this work under justdas oh yeah yeah like that's not evenclose no we had to have the OS to theonly thing out there that would allow usto be able to move between thesedifferent environments basicallyseamlessly so you found it real easy tojust walk up and start using because youwere familiar with either Windows orMacintosh yeah if you'd have beenexposed to that environment it's it'spretty much the same game it's just alittle different twist what poormegabyte machine your only options havebeen Windows and now we can loaded onbefore make machine it'll work just fineyou can do more with those who didn'tcame with any other product out therefor the PC we've been looking for a wayto connect with the other clinics intown and we do medevacs to sendingcritically ill patients over toanchorage and i think that we could setup something using os/2 that wouldreally help us right now we Xerox thechart and we sand along a packet alongwith the patient and there have beeninstances where the packet got left onthe plane and so it would be reallyhelpful if we could just communicate itelectronically that would really help usa lotos/2 does make a difference and it's notjust about megabytes and nanoseconds forthe people of Kodiak it's bringing theoutside world a little closer wellthat's great Wallyyou know os/2 meets Northern Exposureright here in New York with the wholeisland connected schools governmentoffices and health facilities did youknow that the whole town beta-testedowes to work yeah they did and I andpeople in Kodiak and people everywhereare starting to rely on os/2 for allkinds of things of course part of os/2warp svalillyz you wanted to include inhere it's why we included a bonus packthat includes the CompuServe informationmanager facts works a personalinformation manager hyper access lightand person-to-personthere are multimedia applications likemultimedia viewer and video in plus IBMworks a comprehensive set ofproductivity applications including aspreadsheet word processor a database acalendar and an address book let's let'sshow let's use works to show people thereal power of native OS - epic let's goahead I'm gonna open up a bonus packfolder here and I'll go ahead and openup I B M works ok what I'm gonna dofirstly is first I'm gonna open up theaddress book I want to show you what theobject nature of just a simple worksapplication is ok yeah first of all asyou know David's been gone for a whilehe's over in London right now is perfectand I want to just kind of get with himnext week as to what went on there whatare they thinking ok I'll make anappointment with him most of the timesyou'd fill out and go into a PIM andmake some changes there right when Iwant to do that all I do is go up andfind David's name grab it drag it put itonto Friday when I'd like to meet withthem let it goit pops up right it's be a choice voilaI just made it schedule a meeting withDavid Marcos with the object-orienteddrag-and-drop of the workplace showexactly right exactly right now I seeyou've got an app two active projectsfolder there right what's in there Ohlocations yes where he's beenwell actually this these are places I Icreated this little database ofinteresting places where customers whoare using os/2 all around the world andso we've been to kodiak alaska andthere's this comes with warp this isbuilt inI've been told at ABARES couple daystype of thing okay and so we were goingthrough and you can look at all thedifferent places that that don't goexactly Tokyo a matter of fact David issupposed to be going to Tokyo and Ithink that's why we couldn't afford tobe me in so what I want to do first isto go ahead and send send him a notebecause I'm a little concerned about theexpenses that are going on out there sofirst let me open a letter that I'vewritten to him okay and then let me showyou an a spreadsheet that I've createdand so you see in the spreadsheet yepthis is very simplehe's been obviously spending very wiselyhere and he's having a good timeespecially in Zurich is pretty excitingyeah so here's what I want to do Icreated this little little text documenthere I want to send to him let me justscroll down a little bit because what Iwant to do is I want to embed it thatgraph in there so he can see what'sgoing on so all I'm going to do isselect that right and get in and watchwatch the visual representation drop itin and when I dovoila it's in there let me page up alittle bit just to show you that I wentahead and did that okay now let's goback and add Tokyo okay so we'll putTokyo in there okay and what's areasonable amount of money oh maybeforty five forty five hundred dollarsthat sounds about righthit enter and now you'll see itimmediately went across right over tohere so you createdso you created with these applicationsmaybe they're the war plans exactdynamic dde link between where theprocessor in the spreadsheet justdragging and dropping no cutting andpasting I'm pasting links or into thatmenu below exactly right that's greatand now you know what to do I want toget this today so let me show you howhow we do that here okayfirst of all I'm gonna dress it to amountain what I'm gonna do is I want tofax it to him how would you fax this ifyou were went using a Windowsapplication oh geez I have to start upmy word processing application I have togo to the printer setup menu tell it notto print to the printer but print to thefax driver then go back to the documentand print it right right then wait forit to print then it would start the faxprogram and then it would fax right andthen you tell it what address to go toand all that good stuffthat that's not a reasonable thing to doit's the way most windows people workbut it's not a reasonable thing to dolet me show you how we do thatyou know os/2 might be an easier levelfirst of all you have a common addressbook where you thanks and so I haveDavid's fax number right I address it bysimply dragging the address dropping itonto David and now you see look at thatlet's actually start it over there huhnow should I go launch the applicationagain no no that's not we doing withthose two we take it we drag it we dropit on the facts the facts program thatcomes with work that is built into thepackage part of the bonus pack right andit is fact now off faxing this thingaway yo look at that automatic just likethat sends it rightthat's real dragon drive now Wally Inoticed you plugged imodium in here wellI looked down all of a sudden said waitI didn't put I didn't plug in my faxmodem and so I normally if I was sayAndre Dawson windowsI'd have to reboot my machine yeah I'mnot going to do that now because I haveplug-and-play four PCMCIAbuilt into the machine no light an orbright into warp now I took that card outI was sitting out here I inserted it itautomatically recognized what type ofcard it was a modem card made it readyand in fact turned it over I don't haveto reboot and restart the driversexactly right so now we're off sendingfaxing this to to Tokyo Davidoutstanding whoa easy to use isn't it itsure is exactly rightwell while this is faxing why don't wesee what David's up to great let's go toTokyo okay[Music]in Japan many traditions go backthousands of years[Music]there's significance in even the tiniestof details at the hotel El Corte I foundnew technology United with one of theoldest and most sacred of traditions themarriage ceremony we may be a horn outthree times first when we were blond thesecond time is witting the third time ofthe funerals but only wedding ceremonieswe are cautious why did you create thismultimedia presentation facility forweddings the wedding ceremony is gettingcomplicated year by year so it's verydifficult to present to the exact stylewhat clearly there within so many meansso we used a lot of different types ofvideos pictures and even pamphlets wefound that not my dear is most usefulwho gets more excited the bride or thegroom right of course many couples visitthe other hotels also so we made it'ssomething different from the other hoteland try to make strong impression to thenew it a couple when you looked atmultimedia why did you choose OS to OS 2is it faster and easier very easy tomake a beautiful design in the graphicsscreens somebody I mean so themultimedia does it make it easier foryour sales peopleit I think so even inexperienced peoplecan explain all the things they shouldtalk so can I keep solid table novendetta's are taken Oh Amy do you knowfor sure that it has given you goodbusiness mm-hmm we expect to have 20%more wedding summaries compared over thelast year so there's not only becausethe multimedia systems but itcontributes us so much[Music]a couple of years ago pc-compatible theyhardly existed in this townI mean NEC they had things pretty wellwrapped up but things have changed a lotlatelylet's go inside and find out why OS toSonoma Nova's the kind of the humannadie conoce a motor at a barCP you got internship um okay so clockour fishing pocket I each Amanda animalsthrough IBM way after the deficit theos/2 sign underneath there I it sayssomething but I can't tell exactly whatwhat's it say os/2 Waku Waku Plaza whatexactly does that meanwell good you know uh she's just amachine so they cut off we're gonnaalways sit on it what the multitude atthe girl wrote each guy on my down[Music][Music]Antonia miracle mr. doe cuando esto haceesto axis indict a Jehovah pokearticulate or Paso you canö Sega I hadto walk you outCarter Ulster is the platform of the 90s[Music]you know Leah I think it's kind of amean trick the poor groom thought it wasa computer gamewell little mean but a great applicationand a great example of what businessesare doing to make multimedia morecompetitive with os/2 warp you can beyou can view pictures stored on a cd-romincluding Kodak photo CDs now for thoseincorporating still photos intopresentations we offer the ability tobrowse images with a multimedia viewerand of course it's not just photos youcan also browse audio files animationand video clips and in addition we'veadded the multimedia capabilities thatwill make os/2 warp an ideal environmentfor the cd-rom based educationalprograms and games and of course thatmeans support for state-of-the-arttechnologies like MPEG os/2 warps MPEGsupport will allow multimedia developersto create os/2 applications that offerfull motion full-screen full-color videoand CD digital stereo sound from asingle speed cd-rom that's pretty hotwhy let's take a look at some of thosetwo warps capabilities here we said wecould take a look at photographs we havesome photographs that David sent us fromhis world tour and here he is in Tokyoand this is the little browser thislittle button around the image you knowyou don't just see the name here youactually see the content of the imagethese are thumbnail sketches from thelight table folder that's included aspart of os/2 warp so let's take a lookthat what that is by name and I canactually see what it is see he's inTokyo we can browse it and get a biggerpicture I'm pretty good quality that isexcellent yeah for $4,500 huh yeah for atrip to Tokyo right let's take a look atI mentioned you could see Kodak PhotoCDs here's a set of photo CD images thatwe that we took in off of cd-rom and youknow you can do this with just a regularphotographso I mean I can go to my son's hockeygames take photos and then put them onthe Internet right and then deliver themback to my parents house right wellthat'd be really great you could sendthem around the country but look at thequality of this image I think they caneven see on the screen that's right offthere so you can anybody now can bringphotographs into their system and withour new alt email and internetdistribute them anywhere in the worldthat's terrific eh now we're not justabout still images of course and one ofthe great capabilities of os/2 is itsfull motion video capability whoops herewe gothere sound now let's play a little thisis 30 frames a second full motion videoright unassisted hardware right on thePC no changeWow fully synced video fully sync withaudio right that's right 30 frames asecond not bad right now we can also dointerestingly we can just drag thisimage up start a new movie you know thatreminds meI mean David's been kind of cruisingaround where do you think he where's heoff to next I don't know but I think Igot a way to send him there Wow so let'stake a look at this there's full screenfull motion video with unassistedhardware let's uh let's send him off toMoscow and see see how he likes it upthere let's send him Stiles[Music]here in Russia the world is changingfaster than anyone could have possiblyimagined welcome to Red Square whereos/2 is changing everything from newfound businesses the way that peopledeal with money especially the way theydeal with money not too long ago peoplehere got paid in cash and had to carrylarge volumes of cash there were nodebit cards or credit cards at leastuntil now till the birth of the Russiansdb card and the first Russian ATM andapparently the first ATM lines now youmight not be able to tell it from herebut this ATM like others around theworld is being run on os/2 STB is usingos/2 to run the STB card machines whydid you choose os/2 the system providesus with the ability to increase thethroughput of this ATMs since operatingsystem is multitask system and this isvery important for us how many people inMoscow know it's about 10 million andhow many people have an stbb card todayit's about 65,000 people let's say nextyear same time how many people do youthink will have an STD I guess for 1.5million but almost whooshing but shyprobably a mighty bomb pledgeherebut eight mints it as number will gohere they may it's got at the schoolalways to is helping to bring theconvenience of electronic banking toeverybody in Russia and here likemillions of other places around theworldos/2 is behind the scenes doing thecritical jobs where reliability is amust[Music]well while you are all watching thatvideotape I connected us via os/2 s warperson-to-person capability which is apowerful connection that gives usvirtual whiteboarding capabilities wecan share information make changes andcollaborate in real time and it wasdeveloped by IBM's networking systemsactually while a lot of the sizzle inos/2 warp comes from the IBMlaboratories around the world iBM isdeveloping applications that willleverage os/2 work not just for thelarge corporate environment but also formedium and small sized businesses I'dlike to ask Steve Mills general managerof the software solutions division tojoin us to tell us more Stevethank you congratulations this is reallya fantastic product os/2 warp is what Iknow customers are anxious to get theirhands on and you're right there istremendous effort going on inside of IBMto build key products that fullyleverage and extend the power of os/2work in fact there are more than 50products in the os/2 portfolio and IBMtoday database products like db2 two andvisualizer which simplify the managementof vast quantities of informationworkflow management tools like flow markfor streamlining business processes timein place for calendaring visual info forthe management of scanned images anddocuments book manager for onlinedocumentation networking tools likeCommunications Manager call path andultime of course person the personfinally advanced applications like theIBM personal dictation system whichallows speech to be enabled toapplications creating a rich humancentric environment that willdramatically simplify the interactionhuman beings with the system the growingfamily of applications from softwarevendors customers are starting to seenew product more productive ways to workand one of the things I'd like to pointout is that these IBM applicationsaren't just for large customers forlarge enterprises we have applicationsfor small businesses for individualsapplications to help customers of allsizes hey Steve before you go anythoughts on where we should send Davidnext well why don't we take a look hereat Wally's world ok and of course weknow that David has been been off toAlaska yeah so we've had him there youcan see that there he is wandered aroundthe world all the way over to Japan badyeah and then traveled across thesteppes of Russia to land in Moscow wellhow about how about we send him downwhoops how about we send him to SouthAmerica or some place like that meanwell we could sit in Africa he'd havefun there two customers one small andone large both anxious to tell theirstories let's do it but before we dothanks to you for joining us we'll allbe looking forward to your nextgenerationapplications Thank You Lee do[Applause][Music]precisionthat's something the Swiss are known forthe world over you can see it in everyaspect of Swiss life from theirexquisite timepieces to theirarchitecturewolfram Harnish knows precision word ispharmacy here in Schaffhausen it's atiny little shop but he's doing some bigthings with os/2 why did you pick os/2we know dr. Darcy was an accomplishedathlete who's taken off the took mypassage to come from personal computersso I our perfectly logic for the roomnurse - holy Shbut what part - your business is alwaysto running as a - the application whenit come our town yeah Alley Sakamotodeputy are valid updated define the logof a variety that the toolkitinformation about vomiting comment forfiled out to controller for the medicalmen to be serviced experienced will itaffect tribes by the physical phenomenafor how the other so you just prettymuch every part of your business hasbeen automated yeah I think otherbusiness people should take a good lookat os/2 don't you yokel Borgata socleaner eodum it'll be three point it'sa shock for them almost i forfeit evenso now this is the application so makeplace so we know that's in stock -docked me - okay we need to oh yeah andthe date you can change it okayand now it's he added on to the customerprofile and it's in the database that'sgreatis that a good doctor saying yeah wellthis is pretty neat Wolfram'sapplication he's got customerinformation all online and profileshe's got all of the inventory in hisshop online but most importantly he'sgot a database of nine thousandpharmaceuticals and seven thousandcustomers all cross-referenced from hisend of the operation it's pretty muchpaperless and his employees love itof course the advanced features in warpthey make developing small businessapplications even easier so I think inthe future you're gonna see a lot morepeople like Wolfram improving theirbusiness with os/2 and remember withwarp you don't miss a beat it's here now[Music]in the airline industry only two thingsmatter reliability and efficiency yougot to keep your planes in the air andthey got to be on timewell the equipment it can take that paceno problem but scheduling people in anoperation this size that's a differentstorygoofy here's CPA mm what does the systemdo CPA mm is a crew planning assistantbasically it provides support for thecrew planners plan me some thousand twohundred cockpit crew and three thousandcabin crew now this is where a systemlike the crew planning assistant comesin extremely useful because it basicallyconsolidates information from all overthe company and presents this anextremely graphical colorful way to theassignment this is for about 250 flightsa day where is always to fit into thisthe service to is responsibility to goout gather information allow forinformation transfer and informationconsolidation this is a very visualapplication this is one of the biggestreasons why we chose those two theobjectives to keep the airplane in theair keep the crew member happy it lookslike you have built an application nowthat's become a critical part of thewhole Swissair scheduling practicethat's true that's correctthe aircraft out there on the tarmac donot get crude or stopped if thisapplication fails this application hasto run all day and this application hasto meet a deadline there's no such thingas this application missing its deadlinewe will continue to use ours too it'sthat simplehere at Swissair os/2 is cut the time ittakes to schedule flight crews in halfand since it's been installed it's nevergone down it's that kind of reliabilitythat's gonna continue to make os/2popular in businesses both large andsmall[Music]you know Wally one thing we've donesince the beginning of Oz 2 is listen sowhen we send David or anyone out to talkto customers we really listen to whatthey say you're right Lee and we startedtalking to people about what they wantedout of the computers and then listenedto the tens of thousands of users duringthe os/2 warp beta test one thing cameacross loud and clear people knowthere's an information superhighway andthey want to be on it but everyone saysit's really difficult difficult to getstarted I mean how many people can walkinto a computer store asked for tcp/ipFTP Telenet then go out and find aservice provider download thenavigational tools like gopher andmosaic and finally start to servefrankly most people give up before theyeven get started with os/2 warp iBM hasintegrated technology from labs inFlorida North Carolina New York andTexas to give users one-button access tothe Internetthe IBM internet connection for os/2includes internet gopher telnet and moreso take me surfing well let's go let'sgo serve I'm gonna open up the IBMinformation superhighway folder and inthere we find a couple things CompuServehyper access light and the IBM internetconnection so always to get on theinformation superhighway but let's gotake it look at the Internet in thissituation now Lee I already dialed onhere because I want I didn't want to gothrough that process but let me let meshow you something your first of all Iwant to show how easy it is to get onand I'm gonna go through what theregistration process would be all thesoftware would load as part of the bonuspack and so we would come on I'll comestandard with what all the IP the slipall those buzzwords all come built intothe bonus pack all right you'd say opena personal account you'd go through thelawyer stuff right you'd find out whatthey put in here you put in your countryyour name your address and I couldprobably handle that handle that alittle modem information select a nameand now all you say is send registrationless than a minute later cut back comesthe IP address local phone number basedon where you said you live your accountnumber your account code your user IDand your password I have to go load thatall in - no of course not Lee this isalways to wardthose are automatically inserted intoyour dialer so all you do is click onwhere you want to go gopher telnet orany of those places and it automaticallyloads it for you great so let's go let'sgo do a little bit of surfing okay let'sdo I'm gonna launch the gopher go so thegopher is as you probably know was outof the University of Minnesota get oldand Gophers the Golden Gophers ofMinnesota right they created a set anetwork of servers all around the worldthat contained vast amounts ofinformation right but one of the thingsthat we bring through our advancedconnection in the global network is away to organize these so we give you agoal for a directory exactly right so wedon't just put you on the Internet wegive you interesting places to go to wehelp through each one of those piecesokay and so you know you and I enjoysports and so you can just simply clickand open it up but let's go do somethingelse Lee because while we're doing thatI want to show you how the nextgeneration of Internet access and that'scalled the web Explorer if you will theworld wide web so two things you noticeright away first of all you are in factsurfing the information superhighway upin the right hand corner ok so we don'tjust give you a little information downhere we go up and actually show it toyou so they who are working on it nowthis is very graphical so it takes awhile to load download that exact so I'mwe're doing that while the gopher wasout there doing that stuff well ofcourse you didn't write that's how doyou do that you jumped us you didn'thave to stop the gopher this is this isnot Windows leave this is os/2 warp herelike these are all these are allapplications that are running and infact we're not just multitasking theapplications I'm multitasking that same14.4 modem I used to do my fax earliermultitasking into the internet withsimultaneous access through multipleservices in the internet from mostAwards exactly right and now Ally on topof that reader this is live Wally andthat's this is warp it is real finishcode so it's running and it's goading upthings well and let you know when I gohome and I read the Austinamerican-statesman the morning yeah Ilike to read the sports page first thenI go to the business and then I checkout what happened to the rest of theworld ok so here I came up and that'swhat you do with your news reader youactually put together howyou want to read things okay and sowhile you're doing that I'll tell youwhat let's just go back and see how theweb Explorer did oh I guess that finish- right so in fact I know there it is sowe had the gopher server the webExplorer and the newsreader all runexamples all running Simon is aim linkexactly right goes to work you know itreally doesn't matter whether you're abig news service or an individual tryingto make new connections around the worldthose two warps helping everyone withwhat's going onand speaking of what's going on there'sa lot going on in London as we alreadysaid yeah and you know frankly it's beena long couple of months for us and I'dlike to go check it out so I'm gonna gosee what's going on and be myself tosome other event that's going on amatter of fact I'm thinking of maybe onein Hawaii so Lee I'm gonna leave this toyou to take home thanks very much thanksWally[Applause][Music]greaters love a good news story and it'sbeen that way for hundreds of years as amatter of fact the newspaper was born200 years ago right here on Fleet Streetand in this little pub Charles Dickenswrote his newspaper columnist back thennewspapers were delivered by horse carttoday things have changed when we talkabout inflation superhighway we'retalking about something that we'realready doing basically we're sendingout 2 million pages of text andinformation a month it's being read by14 million users each month and thenthey get those pages of informationloaded down into their TV it'sinteractive so the person gets theinformation that they need when theywant it and we're making money out of itwe couldn't have managed without RS 2 weknew we needed a graphical userinterface but it also had to have thepower to go back into the mainframe andcollect information from the mainframeso what the journalist is doingtypically is he's doing three or fourthings simultaneously there and youcouldn't do that with a windows-basedoperating system it just wouldn't havethe functionality I think an indicationof the reliability of os/2 is in two anda half years it's never gone downwe've been beta testing Walton for thelast two or three months and we like itin terms of its reliability and ease ofuse and I think it's that richness inthe operating system that are going toallow us to build very comprehensivesystems for multimedia applications whatwe want to do is build what we callnewsroom 2000 will have all thecomponents of journalists needs toproduce a multimedia news story and forthe first time he'll be able to tietogether the pictures with the wordsthat he's writing will have speechrecognition in thereand ultimately the user will be able todig into the pictures dig into the wordsarchive and pull together their own newsstoryOster is the client for news from 2000because there's basically nothing elseout there that will do the job and weknow that it will do the job becausewe've been testing it for the last ninemonths you you've been using os/2 for awhile could you imagine ever going backto das windows now once you use always -for a couple of hours and you see whatyou can achieve with this operatingsystem it just seems like 20 steps intothe dark ages - to go back to using dosand windowswhy do I have to do that knowing whatstudents pay for tuition at universityand then knowing what os/2 provides forthe price do you think you're gonna berecommending os/2 for the studentsstudents don't have a lot of moneyespecially in this country if they get agood deal on a no present system thatcomes with built-in word processorspreadsheet database internet accesstools computer access if the woundedit's it's great they think they can juststart working straightaway out on theinternet we all have our littlesignatures that go along with with ournotes that we send and you have a prettyinteresting signature what is it theAfrican chief on the grip elephant whatabout some of the words of wisdom thatyou attach to the

spread the words of ourelders their words or wisdom what agreat guy I've talked to him a couple oftimes on the net but this is the firsttime we've actually met having accessand everybody and everything that'sreally what it's all aboutwe couldn't have traveled around theworld and made this film without OS 2 inthe last couple of weeks I've bookedabout a dozen airline reservationsstayed in touch with my boss wrote twoarticles and faxed them offI checked about a gazillion emails and Igave a few impromptu demos and the bestpart about it is all of the software Iused comes with warm and I calledHeathrow this morning the flight fromChicago still hasn't arrivedso the only thing now left to tell youis how we're going to get people workedlet's start with applications it'sobvious that they're there you've seenwhat customers around the world aredoing with applications that they'vedeveloped for os/2 as for existing PCapplications it's this simpleos/2 R or runs 16-bit dos and windowsapplications better than dos and windowsthemselves plus there are thousands ofnew 32-bit OS to applications and todaymore than 40 software vendors areannouncing their plans for os/2 warpexploitive applications for developersinterested in migrating their Windowsapplications to os/2 warp includingthose that are being developed forWindows 95 iBM is announcing today thatwe will give them 1ups smart tool on thenext edition of the os/2 developer'sconnection this powerful tool will cutdevelopment effort in half yielding os/2applications in a fraction of the timeit's a fifteen thousand dollar value andit's free to Devcon subscribers nowlet's talk about pre loading today we'repleased to announce that the IBM PCcompany will offer os/2 warp pre-loadedon its commercial desktop computers thisfall and on mobile systems including theaward-winning ThinkPad and its consumersystems line like the recentlyintroduced app Teva beginning in 1995today Dell is announcing that it willoffer os/2 warp as a preload option whencustomers call in to order latitudenotebooks and the Dell desktop linetoday Toshiba is announcing that it willpreload os/2 warp on the new pentiumbased computers that they introducedyesterday this is added to our existingagreements with AST al our compact compyou had vobis Olivetti and more than 200PC manufacturers that will make os/2available with their systems of coursepre loads are just the beginning to moveos/2 warp off the shelves we're planningan aggressive retailprogram a new point-of-sale campaignreseller promotions sales
